"First of all I said “true and faithful” not just those who call themselves Christian."

Which is why I asked for a clarification of of true and faithful? Do you agree that there are Christians who have very little fruit or who are carnal?

The letters in Revelation were sent to churches, which means they were a body of believers. Some of these churches had started mixing with the world or losing their first love, but they were believers none-the-less or else the Holy Spirit would not have referred to them as Churches.

So lets forget the true and faithful for a second. Will ALL believers be raptured?

Forget about true and faithful? Are you kidding? Satan himself knows/believes that Jesus is the true Lord and Savior but has and is desperately trying to stop people from accepting Him as their only Lord and Savior.

Jesus wants total dedication the Him. He is the only “way”. No one goes to the Father but by Him, not through some saint or matriarch. No salvation just because one belongs to some organized denomination or group. Only a personal relationship with Jesus, trusting that He is our only source and hope, believing that He paid the only price needed for the forgiveness of our sins and through grace alone are we saved into eternal life with Him. Only those who hold to those truths and maintain that trust and belief will be counted worthy.
